Our big guy is six months old, can ya believe it?! And boy is he on the move... He's rolling every which way, scooting around the house in his walker, trying to crawl when he's on the floor...of course, so far he's only going backwards, but what the hell. Going somewhere is better than going nowhere, right?
Anyway, we went in today for his six month check-up (and those nasty shots that are never any fun), and all is well with Stormy Tyler. He's now 17 pounds and 27.5 inches long. And at the rate he's eating, he'll keep growing by leaps and bounds. I'm still breastfeeding, but on top of that, S has been eating solid foods for over a month now. He loves pears, apples and squash the most. We got the go-ahead today from Dr. Eggert to give him pretty much anything to eat from here on out. (No ice cream and cookies though yet, Dad!) But we'll be trying a whole lot more fruits and veggies, a little meat maybe, and probably some baby finger foods here pretty soon. Things are really going to get interesting now! Everything will still be blended to an undistinguishable consistency for a little while yet, but at least he'll have the opportunity to try some new tastes and a little bit thicker texture. I am thankful every day that I was blessed with a good eater. Keep your fingers crossed for us that it doesn't change for a long time, lol!
We've also been very lucky to have had a really healthy year for the whole family—almost no unneccesary doctor's visits, so let's keep our fingers crossed for that too! The year is almost over. We are looking forward to giving him Thanksgiving dinner and having his first Christmas. By then he should be pretty good at sitting up by himself, and you know how much fun all that crunchy wrapping paper is to get into! Talk to y'all again soon.
He really liked listening to his uncle Allen play the guitar! 
Stormy got his first taste of Thanksgiving turkey, and while he liked it, he wasn't sure how to eat it...
When dinner was over, Stormy realized just how full he was from all that good food...
